Of course they said that when they realized they were in trouble with the public.
You are a mind reader now to boot. I'm not religious at all, but if a man says he was praying, he was praying. I applaud them for praying on national TV as part of peaceful protest against racism and bigotry that still unfortunately continues to exist in this country. They were not proselytizing or embracing one single religion.

Most people don't want politics in their sports.
And now praying in public is a public nuisance and agitation to 'most' people as you not only read minds but speak for 'most' people. Noisy hypocrites may be annoyed but most people who watch sports won't quit watching the NFL over this. Do you have any data to back up another one of your ultra bogus claims?

It's not politics. I know of no player in that prayerful peaceful protest, mentioning one political party or politician. None have political aspirations.
It's only political if your political ideology supports racists, bigotry and social injustice. In that case you are in the wrong.
And by the way, if you attend a game and are truly at attention to the flag during the National Anthem, then you would not see the protest.
Not one of these players obstructed or interfered with anyone's ability to see our great and wonderful flag.
Go Browns. Beat Pittspuke in the opener.
They do that and all your annoyed friends will be watching. They may lie for awhile but they will be watching our great young team. Players that have a social conscience. Is that really so bad?
